Hello Daggers!
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a biweekly challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short character prompt and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
The ground trembled and shifted as the Giant raced to the heart of the forest, his enormous limbs propelling him forward. A towering, pitch-black column of smoke marked his destination, the smell of burnt leaves pervading the air and slowly morphing his scowl into an expression of pure fury. "This can only mean one thing...humans."
Your task: Design the Giant of the Forest Realm, Protector of the Sacred Woods.
Guidelines:
Deadline is Sunday, November 16 @10pm GMT
